No Utopians wear black, and for all the frequency of the samurai uniform along the London ways the general effect is of a gaily-coloured population.
On each side of it stages were raised like steps in an amphitheatre, which were densely crowded, every window decorated with gaily-coloured hangings and the Italian flag; the streets were lined with "guardie civiche," and bands of music played from time to time. The people shouted "Evviva!" every time a gun was fired.
I have come to this conclusion from finding it an invariable rule that when a flower is fertilised by the wind it never has a gaily-coloured corolla. Several plants habitually produce two kinds of flowers; one kind open and coloured so as to attract insects; the other closed, not coloured, destitute of nectar, and never visited by insects.
There were begging friars in cowl and frock, and beggars, not friars, with crutch and bowl; there were gleemen and tumbling women, solid tradesfolk going out to the country farms they loved, troops of 'prentices on their way to practice with the bow or cudgel, and parties of gaily-coloured nobles, knights, squires, and burgesses, coming, like their own party, to the meeting of Parliament.
From either side also came strange sounds the shrill call of pea-hens, the cooing of pigeons, high above all of which was the pertinacious chattering of monkeys, while parrots and other gaily-coloured birds flew from bough to bough, and gigantic butterflies with brilliant wings skimmed over the surface of the stream.
I should like to see this Mr. Montague. I must get Captain Conyers to point him out to me. But, ah, look! here they come!" and as she spoke the girl pointed to some half-score figures who, clad in gaily-coloured jerseys, came racing down over six flights of hurdles.
In the bay there is good anchorage for a limited number of vessels, and fortunate were they who manned the tall ships that lay there, swinging ebb and flood, waiting for a burthen of golden grain. On Saturday the little bay was crowded by a muster of varied craft. The ships at anchor were "dressed" to the mastheads with gaily-coloured flags.
It was like a scene out of a fairy tale the gaudy Chinese lanterns bobbing to and fro, the gaily-coloured crowd, the shining white yacht rocking gently on the noiseless swell. Everyone was laughing. Some were singing. There was not a serious face to be seen in all the crowd that poured over the red-carpeted gangway from the quay. "Where is Toby?" said Maud.
Did he want to fish there were such exquisite little gaily-coloured fish there, that are so stupid and greedy they grab at every bait would he not shoot ospreys as well? She positively worried him. But he always gave her an evasive reply; he did not want to. "I'm really too tired to-day." Then she sent for the Italian doctor. But Wolfgang was angry: what did he want with that quack?
A similar line of argument holds good with fruits; that a ripe strawberry or cherry is as pleasing to the eye as to the palate that the gaily-coloured fruit of the spindle-wood tree and the scarlet berries of the holly are beautiful objects will be admitted by everyone.
